Our water jet cutting process utilises high-pressure water forced through a small nozzle, producing extremely clean and precise cuts on various material thicknesses. This method is ideal for creating complex gasket designs and shapes, especially with soft or delicate materials, as it places minimal stress on the material. This ensures the gasket retains its structural integrity while delivering clean cuts consistently.
Advantages of Water Jet Cut Gaskets
Water jet cutting offers several benefits, including faster production times compared to other methods. This allows us to manufacture prototype gaskets or small production runs with a quick turnaround. The precision of the water jet also maximises material usage, reducing waste and saving costs while shortening lead times.
The variable pressures achievable with our water jet cutting machine enable us to tailor each cut to the required material. This ensures consistent finishes and tolerances across all our water jet cut gaskets. High-pressure water can easily cut through very thick and laminated materials, making this method particularly useful for glass-reinforced gaskets that might crack during other manufacturing processes.
